Ambre Fétiche is a soft and feminine amber that smells like a cross between Serge Lutens' Ambre Sultan and an incense from the Series 3 Incense of Comme des Garcons, I'm thinking in particular of Jaisalmer.
It may lack the acrid dryness of the Lutens which makes Ambre Sultan the desert wind Chergui wants to be and may be considered a wimp by the likes of the robust, one-drink-too-many Amber Russe but although Ambre Fétiche is mild in nature it still has more character and more "amber" than I get from copious spraying of L'Artisan's Ambre Extreme which is too minimalistic for me.
Ambre Fétiche is sweet, woody and earthy...as any good amber should be :) The warm reddish-brown deep glow of the fossilized tree resin represented by sweet and creamy vanilla with a smoky, smooth blend of resins. A linear, balmy Oriental that creates an atmosphere all snugly warm and comfortable. Compared to other ambers, it's more delicate and fuzzy and would be a nice introduction to Orientals or amber scents. Not too strong and the longevity could be much improved but overall a nice and cozy scent.
